About Me

Melissa White

Hello, and thanks for visiting my blog! My name is Melissa, and I love being a teacher. This is my 12th year of classroom teaching, both in regular and special education. Before that, I worked for more than a decade with a non-profit children's charity in Cleveland's inner city.

In my spare time (hmmmm?), I teach graduate and undergraduate education courses in reading and special education. I love collaborating and sharing with other teachers, and this blog helps me to do a little bit more.

My passions in teaching include integrating technology, using hands-on activities in math and science, and differentiating instruction for students with various needs. I also have an extensive background in working with students with autism and emotional disturbance, and teach workshops to parents of children with these needs.

Last, but best, I am mom to one terrific daughter! She makes each day brighter, and is the inspiration for what I do each day!

Welcome
to my blog, and thanks for stopping by! My name is Melissa, and I'm a 3rd
grade teacher/mom/chihuahua fan. I love teaching and love sharing, and
have been going back and forth about starting a blog for months now. Now
that the school year is starting up again soon, I'm finally just doing it!
I love being in the classroom, and love sharing resources, ideas,
inspirations, frustrations.... The hardest thing about teaching is
"reinventing the wheel"--hopefully the things that I share here will
be something that is helpful to YOU! :)
